Since reading comprehension is an important part of this section, try speed reading (you have to train how to read and comprehend fast). For quantitative ability, solve questions on arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, mensuration etc. For the data interpretation and logical reasoning sections, refer to well known CAT preparation books from TATA McGraw Hill, R S Agarwal, S Chand, Pearson Education, etc. You should also solve crossword and sudoku puzzles every day.

Do mock-tests
Mock-tests are important to do a self-analysis. By doing mock-tests you will get to know that how much you know and then you can start preparing accordingly by emphasizing on your weak points.

Keep in touch with the current affairs
